My latest figure

[pmacko]

This is the British Private 1757 from Master Class. I am on a run of figures sculpted by Alan Ball. I like the smaller scale as there is so much more to choose from. This was also my experiment with Vallejo acrylics. I think I will stick to acrylics for the smaller figures and oils for the larger scales. Any comments are welcome

Hi Paul,
This one looks good too. I like the detailing you did on his coat. And from what I can see of it, I really like the look you achieved on his canteen too.
Nice to see some work from you again.

Thanks Craig,

it feels good to be productive again. Here is another shot I took of the back of the figure. I am happywith the way the canteen and equipment came out also. The shadow on the leather is a little too stark so I am going to tone that down, although it's not as dark in real life as it is in this picture.

If I can get to the club meeting next month, I'll bring these guys along.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the compliment. Mongo Mel and I are both a few hours south of you. My primary interest is in French and Indian Wars period. I have an Indian I want to paint soon that appears in Robert Griffings paining "Triumphant Return to Fort Duquesne".

Paul,

I am fairly new to figure painting (about 4 months) and can say I am inspired by your work. It encourages me to keep going. Your lines are crisp and your shading is impressive.
